While I may hold an unpopular opinion, I really enjoy using liquid glass. It really makes an information-rich screen seem less cluttered.

I like it on iOS. It missed on macOS, but the new version looks much better. Bringing back the old style sidebar and actual toolbars again was the right choice.

I agree with you, it looks good on iOS and iPadOS. I'm indifferent toward it on macOS – you hardly ever notice it unless you live in the control center all day (IME anyway).

I think it looks good (really good in some usecases!), but I don't like the problems it causes.

- accessibility (hopefully improved soon)

- floating buttons over content that doesnt need to scroll

- switching light/dark when scrolling over content with borderline brightness

I slightly prefer it, its nothing groundbreaking though. I just dont think it's the grand UX sin that some the most vocal critics love to preach.

Elements underneath glass elements would add clutter
